How to find out repository size?

[Systemadmin]

We got a couple Projects, with quite a few repositories in some case, and there are also private repositories.

How can i find out the size of each?

(As to check if private ones are used reasonably and what projects are eating up my disc space.)

If you are using Bitbucket Cloud, you can use the Forge app described in this article:

- Access and Share Repository Size Data Across All Projects

The app adds a Workspace Settings Menu page with the size of all repositories in a workspace and a download option to export the information in a CSV file. The app also adds the size information in the repository overview for each user to see.

I'm showing how the app works in this YouTube video.

Hope this helps,
Caterina

In Bitbucket Cloud, a repository admin can see the size under "Repository Details" under Settings.

In Bitbucket Server too, you can view it under Settings > Repository Details after clicking on "Retrieve Size Details".

Retrieve Size Details, where is this?

[Mary Slocum]

If you are in the Repository settings, make sure that you have selected the top/first item for Repository details. Then, you should see Approximate size with Retrieve size details. Just click on Retrieve size details.

Is it possible to get this information via a REST API call?

Is ther still no possibility to get the repo size using the REST API?

I have a small python script that will get you this info here.

`size` is a property of the repository object on the API. Here is an example object from https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/atlassian/bbql/?fields=-owner,-workspace,-links,-project

(Note that I've used field exclusion to remove some fields so it's easier to read).

The size is in bytes.

Is there a table or query we can check against the database instead? Just trying to verify if any of our repos are over 2GB for the Cloud migration.
